Never had there been so much public opposition to the casting of James Bond. After Brosnan decided to quit the role considering himself to be too old for the part, the search was on again with hot favourites being Henry Cavall and Sam Worthington but the weather-beaten Daniel Craig made his debut as the toughest and most down to earth Bond ever seen.

According to reports, screenwriter John Logan has hinted that Ernst Stavro Blofeld, arch enemy of British super spy James Bond may make a comeback in the yet untitled Bond 23, which is expected to release late in 2012.

We have all heard of the new Bond film which is to start shooting later this year, but we still do not know what the title of this 23rd film in the 007 series will be. Apparently Daniel Craig, the latest Bond star knows what it is but he will not tell.

The longest running James Bond, setting a record that is unlikely to ever be broken, Moore appeared in a total of seven films from the early seventies to the mid eighties, bringing a suave sophistication to the super spy and steering the franchise in a new direction for a new decade.

Sean Connery’s very public disassociation from the role he had created left as gap that the world couldn’t wait to see who would fill. The honour fell to unknown Australian George Lazenby who won the part because he punched a stuntman by mistake, impressing the producers with this mistimed show of aggression.
